  • Leading UC Irvine to a road upset of then-No. 3 Pepperdine, William D’Arcy has claimed a first career Big West Offensive Player of the Week award. D’Arcy twice earned freshman honors back in 2023.  

  • Off the bench in every set against the Waves, the senior opposite hitter had UCI’s final three kills in a 25-23 set one win then after trailing by as many as nine, D’Arcy took over the critical second set scoring five points in the final 10-3 run to win 26-24. 

  • D’Arcy closed the win with 19 kills on .630 hitting (19-2-27) with three aces and a season-high five kills.  

  • The native of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, opened the week with three kills on five swings with no errors and a pair of blocks in the home-opening sweep against then-No. 18 Princeton.  

  • D’Arcy is currently leading The Big West and ranks seventh in national collegiate volleyball with a .491 hitting percentage.
